HONDA HF2315SBE - Manual (Page 29)

5.4.2 F
ORWARD DRIVE AND MOVING WITHOUT MOWING
This machine has not been approved for use on public
roads. It has to be used (as indicated by the Highway Code) in private
areas closed to traffic.
When moving the machine, the blades must be disengaged
and the cutting deck put at its highest position (position «7»).
Put the accelerator control between the «SLOW» and «FAST» positions, and
the gear change lever in the 1st speed position (
☛ 4.22).
Keep the pedal pressed down and disengage the parking brake. Slowly release
the pedal which will turn from «brake» to «clutch», thus operating the rear
wheels (
☛ 4.21).
The pedal has to be released gradually as a sudden
engagement may cause tipping up and loss of control of the vehicle.
Gradually reach the desired operating speed using the accelerator and gear
lever. To change the gear speed the clutch must be used pushing the pedal
down half way (
☛ 4.21).
Put the accelerator lever in a midway position between «SLOW» and «FAST».
Disengage the parking brake and release the brake pedal (
☛ 4.31).
Press the drive pedal forward (
☛ 4.32) and go to the required speed by gradu-
ally increasing pressure on the pedal and pressing the accelerator appropriate-
ly.
Drive must be engaged in the way already described
(
☛ 4.32) to prevent sudden engagement from causing tipping up and
loss of control of the vehicle, particularly on slopes.
